BEAMING-MAC'HNE Fon Looms. V

Specication of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 5, 1905.

Application led May 15, 1905. Serial No'. 260,422.

To all whom t may concern: I

Be it known that I, HARRISON GARNETT, a citizen of the UnitedStates,residing at Norristown, in the county of Montgomery and State ofPennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements inBeaming-Machines for Looms, of which the following is a specilication.

My invention relates to beaming-machines used for winding the warp for aloom from a reel .onto the beam.

Heretofore the beam to be supplied with warp was driven by gearingapplied at one end only, and the great torsional stress resulting fromthe beaming operation, especially when the beam was about one-half orthreequar ters filled, caused the end nearest the gearing to split o rotherwiseto be injured. If, as is mostly the case, the beam is suppliedwith a ratchet or ratchets toalloW for taking up or slacking olf of warpwhen the beam isl in a loom, the teeth .of the ratchet-wheel are tornaway, causing expenses for repair and loss of time. To avoid theseobjectionable features, I provide means to drive the beam at both of itsends, thus avoiding th great torsional stresses by which beam andratchets are injured entirely and obtaining the advantages of producingan evenly-wound warp, getting about sixty yards more of yarn onto thebeam, and facilitating the operation of beaming.

My invention consists of means for supporting a warp-beam, a removablegear at each end thereof, ashaft journaled in bearings, pinions on saidshaft to mesh with the said gears, and means for driving said shaft.

My invention will be more fully understood taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings, forming part thereof, and in which- Figure l is atop view of the improved beaming-machine. Fig. 2 is lan end view of saidmachine; and Fig. 3 is a section on line 3 3 of Fig. 1, showing the beamand a ratchet.

Referring now to the drawings for ay further description of myinventionA represents standards with journal-boxes in which the shaft C,having the pinions o and c and fast and loose driving-pulleys o2 and c3,is journaled. Contiguous to said standards A,which are bolted onto theHoor, are bases a and a2, the latter of which is provided with an openjournal-block as, formed integral with the said base a2. The base a isprovided with a removable open journal-block ai, of any suitableconstruction-such, for instance, as is now being used withbeaming-machines which are driven from one end only.

The beam B consists of.- theshaft b, barrel Z2', beam-heads b2, andratchet-wheels Z23,which are secured to the barrel by means oflongitudinal rods b4 and lugs b5, mortisedl into the the otherfriction-pulley 66. 'The beam B is then placed in the open journal-blocka3 and a?, so that the teeth of the gears l and d mesh withthe teeth ofthe pinions c and c. The ends of the warp from the reel R are thenfastened to the beam B, and power isapplied to the shaft C by the beltc4 and driving-pulley cito -give rotary motion to the beam B. Aguide-rollv g and a presser-roll P are employed inthe usual manner tomaintain an even and close winding of the warp onto the beam.l

Having thus fully described the nathre and objects of myinvention, whatI claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-,-

1. A beaming-machine adapted to support a warp-beam, a removable gear ateach end of said beam, means for coupling said gears to said beam, andmeans for driving said gears, substantially as and for the purposes setforth.

2. A beaming-machine adapted to support a rotating warp-beam, aremovable gear at v each end of said beam', means for coupling said beamto said gears, a shaft, two pinions on said shaft to. mesh with theremovable gears of the beam, and means for driving the said shaft,substantially as and for the purposes set forth. v

3. A beaming-machine adapted to support va rotating warp-beam, aremovable gear at each end of said beam, a ratchet at each end Inwitness whereo` I have hereunto set my hand 1n the presence of twosubserlblng wltnesses.
